Exhibition: British Design

It doesn't open till March 2012 but the British Design exhibition at the V&A looks like it's going to be fantastic. The V&A facebook page is great - they post behind the scenes photos, like the ones above, of upcoming shows which gives a great insight into the amount of work and preparation that goes into these exhibitions! It also means you get a sneak peak of what's going to be in the exhibition - I recognised the original Jamie Reid 'Sex Pistols' poster straight away but theres also original posters for the film 'Blow Up', the 1951 Festival of Britain, Saatchi's 'Go to Work on an Egg', a 1978 Anti-Nazi League poster and the exhibition poster for 'this is Tomorrow' at the Whitechapel from 1956.

You can read a bit more about the exhibition and what's going to be on show here. I can't wait for it to open, it's going to be great, roll on March 2012!
